I would argue that the 401 is busy because most people have no alternative. Nobody who suffers rush hour daily on the 401 would say "it works". We spent so much time and money expanding the 400 highways that we ignored very other mode. We have the slowest, lumbering regional rail system in probably the world. It's an embarrassment. And we spend so much subsidizing highways that we can't afford to subsidize rail - so we have a false economy where - to the average user - the highway is cheaper than the train.
